Hey Fanatics! Be sure to check it out tonight as the Cavs go against Olympiakos, a team with 8 Greek born players (guys who play for the Greek National team) three Americans, and four other foreign born players.
LeBron has a history with these guys, since Greece upset the USA in the FIBA Worlds, two summers ago in Japan. As a result, Greece won the silver medal and the Americans got the bronze that year, but we know what happened with the Red, White and Blue since.
It will be fun to watch Shaq go against the one they call, "Baby Shaq", 310 pound center, Sofoklis Schortsanitis, the big Greek center had numerous dunks against the US in that contest in '07.
A lot of the Olympiakos players have either been drafted by NBA teams, or have had squads over here, consider taking them. So, the visitors have plenty of talent.
You know Josh Childress, Von Wafer and Linas Kleiza because of their NBA experience. Patrick Beverly is a guy who played for Arkansas, and was drafted this past summer by the Lakers.
For Anthony Parker, this will be fun, since he played with two of the guys for Olympiakos, when they were together winning titles with Maccabi, during AP's 5 year run in Israel.
See you tonight at 7...
